My Dear Friend

The thunder outside shatters my hope In incessant rain soaks my faith The lightning above burns my patience But the joy of your memories keeps me alive. My dear friend where are you? Months of unfruitful waiting no longer holds me My wet eyes no longer speaks to me My mirror by the window no longer sees me But the joy of your memories keeps me alive. My dear friend where are you? The clock above leaves me pining Twinkling stars tell me tales The heavy breeze whispers faith But the joy of your memories keeps me alive. My dear friend why so late? The hair hanging down my neck is left untied The bows of my gown are left undone Many questions in my little heart are left unanswered I am here praying for the blessing of your sweet company My friend when will you come? The silence of my soul frowns at me Loneliness of my self twines over me Dark angles around tug at my faith Before I loose to them all Before we loose each other Dear friend, please come soon.
